Burnout Paradise: Adding salt to your wounds.

Ok, before you jump to conclusions, this is not an irrational blast at the latest of the Burnout series. For what I've played, which is around 10 hours on and offline, it's exactly what I wanted. Light-weight, fuck around racing.

What I don't like, is DJ fucking Atomika. I get his purpose, to subtly give the player tips. Cool. And hey, at least he's not the super obnoxious over the top fuckheads from Burnouts past.

So what does he do wrong? The second you lose and event this ARSEHOLE chimes in with some smarmy insult consisting of "News just in of some shitty racer being utterly horrible and fat across Paradise, and I DJ Atomika only give mad props to the awesomest of the awesome" . Or how about one of his fabulous handy 'tips' which are pretty much made up of the following;
"When you're in a race/stunt run/road rage/burning run/marked man, its important to try and go fastest/do stunts/win/go fast/not die, and that will help win and not lose, like you just did. DJ Atomika here, telling you the bleeding fucking obvious."

This guy is seriously my motivation to win. Just so I don't have to choke one of my couch cushions to death each time he pipes up.

PS and NO turning Tips off in the options menu does not shut him up. He's like the fucking wolf man.....I gotta find a silver bullet.
